You can use any port number. Conventionally 80 is for web servers, 21 is
for ftp servers 25 is for mail.
If the client doesn't specify the port it is understood it is one of the
above but if you want to use another port for mchttpd the client must
specify that in the address (i.e. 145,134.1.2:8080/file.html) since the
server listens to that port. You can of course have the server listen to a
number of ports.

The update version will have several improvements to make it easier for
users to set the preferences and such.
